Facing Your Giants (4)

By Dr. Michael Brooks

This week we will continue facing your giants; look at what causes some of the giants you face. So my question for you today: what are the Giants you’re facing and want help and confront today? You may have one or several Giants that control you.

The giant of self-doubting is huge for many of us; how many of you have had this problem? I sure have, and on many levels. Many doubt they are good enough for their spouses, jobs, and families. I often felt self-doubt in my sports career; I competed with many great athletes and was very hard on myself when playing against these guys. I had great expectations for myself in the weight room but often questioned my abilities on the field....

Facing Your Giants (3) By Dr. Michael Brooks

This week we will continue facing your giants; look at what causes some of the giants you face. So my question for you today: what are the Giants you're facing and want help and confront today? You may have one or several Giants that control you.

There is the fear of divorce and separation. Less than half the marriages in the US will not survive and end up in divorce. Moving on with your life when considering a divorce can be devastating. I suggest you sit down and look at your next steps in getting your life back from a bad marriage. I can tell you that it's a difficult time during the process, but you will survive. You can contact Dr. Mike if you need help figuring out your next steps.

Anxiety is normal and can be a healthy emotion. But when a person regularly feels different levels of anxiety, this may be a medical disorder that needs to be addressed. Anxiety disorders need a mental health diagnosis, concerns that often lead to excessive nervousness, fear, apprehension, and worry. Although we all experience anxiety when asking our boss for a raise or asking our significant other to get married, I believe those are healthy stress levels. So, what are the ways I can deal with my symptoms of anxiety?

Facing Your Giants (2) By Dr. Michael Brooks
This week we will continue my article on Facing Your Giants. First, let's look at what causes some of the giants we face. So my question for you today is: what are the Giants you're facing and need help confronting today? You may have one or several Giants that control you; over the next several weeks, we'll address several of them you may be facing. First, I will share with you one of my biggest Giants: Abandonment.
I was raised in a military family, and we moved worldwide. We never stayed in one place very long, and it was rare that you would make any real friends because you'd soon move to another base. My parents were always at officers' parties in the evening, and my sister and I were dropped off at the babysitters on the base.

As soon as my sister and I found out that another night was going to be spent at the babysitter's, I would beg not to go. I was only six years old and remembered feeling abandoned by my mom and dad. That was a painful childhood memory and stayed with me until I finally dealt with the problem...

Facing Your Giants (1) By Dr. Michael Brooks

As I walked out of the grocery store to put my grocery cart away, I turned and suddenly stood face to face with the old town gossip just two feet away. This woman in our small community has talked about me and many others. My mind raced as I looked at her, and she stared at me. I froze, I wanted to tell her off, yet my mind prevented me from exposing the town gossip. I would have enjoyed doing this, but I couldn’t bring myself to be like this woman. Why? I had every reason to let loose on her, right? I mean, she had attacked me and lied and gossiped.

I know her gossip has hurt others; why not just expose her, and humiliate her at the only grocery store in town? The giant I faced in this situation was (revenge) what would have happened if I had done such a thing?

The Power of Your Words Give Life or Death (2) By Dr. Mike

Rule number #1, have guidelines in place when you have a face-to-face meeting with anyone you talk plan to talk with. You want to get to the heart of the matter without bunny trailing and without using hurting words by putting the person down to prove a point. I believe that uplifting and encouraging conversations get much better results than negative and condescending words. Keep in mind how you'd like to be spoken to. Most of us would rather be talked to in a civil and respectful manner. Always keep in mind that you have to be in control of what you say to someone or how you should respond to them. There is always hope if you're willing to try to save your relationship!

The Power of Your Words Give Life or Death (1) By Dr. Michael Brooks

I was shopping at a Home Depot store and watched a disabled man trying to walk through the paint department isles along with his wife. He was struggling to walk through obstacles that were placed in the aisle. He was frail and in pain as he walked. I was close enough to hear their discussion about the color of paint for a room they wanted to be painted. He was trying to get a color of paint that would brighten the room he liked to sit in.

She laid into him and said loud enough for everyone to hear, “if we get that color of paint, you can paint the room yourself” I could see the hurt on his face and the embarrassment of her tongue lashing he received in public. I thought to myself, how would I deal with this behavior from my wife? I’m not sure what I would do. I feel that there is life and death in the tongue by the way we speak to each other. I’m not judging her whatsoever; who knows what was going on before I heard their discussion....

Divorce From a Distant Pew By Dr. Michael Brooks

It was a perfect day for a wedding in the park. The sun was shining, the birds were singing and the smell of spring was in the air. As the guests were being escorted to their seats, quiet laughing, whispers, and giggling could be heard. These were beautiful sounds of joy where people gathered to celebrate the union of two hearts. Some guests hadn't seen each other in years and were reconnecting with hugs and smiles.

This went on for several minutes while chamber music played in the background. I watched as the groomsmen took their places in front of the wedding guests. The pastor followed shortly after that. Finally, the wedding march played and everyone stood in honor of the bride as she walked down the aisle with her father.....

Tis the Season of Stress! By Dr. Michael Brooks
It’s hard to believe it’s that time of year; Christmas is fast approaching, and with it, the rise in arguments, separations, and divorces. There is a reason for the rise in separations and divorces during the winter holidays. Can you guess what those are?
One primary reason is that couples will fight over money on what to spend and where the family will spend the holidays. In-laws come in all shapes and sizes when it has to do with their attitudes and opinions toward your spouse. Some in-laws will embrace your spouse and think they are the greatest son-in-law or daughter-in-law since sliced bread. Then some in-laws, on the other hand, will think that your spouse is a direct descendant of the devil himself. Your spouse can’t do anything right no matter how hard they try....

Why Is Confession Good For The Soul?

By Dr. Michael Brooks

Ok! Right off the bat, I’m telling you this article isn’t about going to a priest and confessing all of your faults and sins and your whole life story. This is about getting things right with someone you have offended or wounded. It might be a family member, a friend, or someone at work you need to apologize to. A lot of resentment, anger, rage, misunderstandings, hurt, and sadness could be avoided by you if we are willing to right our wrongs against those we have hurt.

I remember a few years back when a woman and her husband were in my office for marital counseling. The woman was confessing that she had an affair with a co-worker. It was very difficult for her to share it and even more difficult for her husband to hear. The affair was eating her alive. Her insides were so on fire that she was taking medication for an ulcer from the guilt she was carrying. She shared the secrets of her affair with her friends, who encouraged her to continue it. Yet, she knew it was the wrong thing to do.

The haunting visions of her family breaking up because of her actions and the pain her children would go through were too much for her to bear. That’s when she called me. I told her that if she felt that she needed to confess the affair to her husband, then she should follow through with her feelings. I also advised her that there was no guarantee her husband would want to continue the marriage. She knew her confession would rid the guilt she was carrying with her 24/7.

Do you want to be free from years of guilt? Do you want to fix relationships that have been damaged by your actions, and you need to confess a wrong you have committed? Many people have a severed conscious and don’t care about fixing broken relationships. You don’t want to fall into that trap.

I often hear stories about someone who has passed on and a family member wishing they could have said “I’m sorry” for something that happened between them. I can remember a friend of mine who had a great deal of animosity and hard feelings toward his father. One night he received a call about his dad being killed in a car accident on an icy road. That’s when the guilt overwhelmed him as he lay in bed and wept. He was planning to ask his dad to forgive him for his anger toward him. He just didn’t know how to, and now it was too late. Sometimes we never get that chance to cleanse our hearts by confessing our faults to each other. So the million-dollar question is…why is confession good for the soul?

I’d say most people are good to each other and treat each other with dignity and respect. We all want people to think we are good on the inside and care about others. For most of us, we want to go to bed with a clean conscious that we purposely don’t want to hurt anybody. When you have done something to someone by accident (a remark or action), and it hurt them, we generally want to fix the pain we have caused them. We each have our ways of doing that (apologizing, trying to make things right). For many of us in this age of texting and e-mails, people will ask someone to forgive us and confess a fault through electronic means. I suppose that works for some folks, but a true face-to-face meeting is what is needed. It can be scary at times yet fulfilling if done with a true heart of resolving issues.

What if you’re on the receiving end of someone that comes to you to confess an issue they have had with you? How would you deal with it? I can remember when an acquaintance asked if he could talk with me about something. I met him for lunch, and as we sat and talked, he said he wanted to confess that he had been angry with me for something because I ignored him in a business meeting and didn’t respond to a question he had asked. He had held a grudge ever since. He said it had bothered him for several months, and he wanted to get things right between us. I didn’t know that I had done this to this man and asked him for forgiveness. We discussed what had happened and agreed it was a wonderful feeling to let the grudge go. So, you can see, confession is good for the soul!

Do you have someone that you need to go talk to and confess an issue with them? Do you need to let go of something that causes you anger? Are you confused about some of the hard feelings that you’ve been carrying for some time? If you answered yes to any of these questions, call me at 303.880.9878.
